Definitions

  • the present invention relates to customer order picking facilities in the goods warehouses of the distribution or sales centers, as well as the materials used therein, in particular manipulators and load grippers suitable for the transport of parcels in the enclosure of the warehouse.
  • Order preparation consists of collecting and transporting items ordered by the sales outlets of a commercial network or by buyers, in particular, to and from a warehouse where they are stored for delivery. in the case of mail order or e-commerce.
  • an order-picking operator In current warehouses of the type in which the invention is of particular interest, an order-picking operator must gather, for example to a delivery truck, articles or parcels whose number and type are included in a list. order-specific order being prepared. Most of the time the operator has for this purpose a motorized handling equipment, such as an electric carriage for transporting pallets or other containers, on which it collects the items it takes in the respective storage locations, by choosing them by reference to said list.
  • a motorized handling equipment such as an electric carriage for transporting pallets or other containers, on which it collects the items it takes in the respective storage locations, by choosing them by reference to said list.
  • the journey through the warehouse to browse the locations may be imposed on the operator, with each list, in order to save time by establishing an appropriate order in the sequence of locations to serve which he will have to stop to pick up one or more items, in order to better coordinate the movements in the same warehouse of various operators having at the same time to prepare respective orders responding to different lists.
  • the walk through the warehouse, the repeated climbs and descents of the machine, the catches of the parcels in the spaces, the movements with the package (s) in the arms, removal and storage of packages on the pallet of the machine, are risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders for operators.
  • a first device shown in the European patent application 02 290 088 proposes to reduce the movements of operators by avoiding them up and down from their picking machine with a remote control or conventional voice maneuvering remote machine.
  • This device makes it possible for the operator to reduce his displacements, in particular among load displacements, but he does not solve the problems posed by the handling of parcels, often bulky and heavy to carry.
  • the invention provides in particular to use ergonomic manipulators with referrals efforts that can advantageously be shipped on motorized equipment moving through the picking installation.
  • a suitable design of these manipulators, in conjunction with other advantageous provisions of the invention, particularly concerning the control tools made available to the operators and the tools for capturing parcels, makes it possible to ensure that the operators can manipulate the almost effortless loads, especially in lifting heavy loads, that they can manually adjust packages on pallets to ensure stability during transport, and that they can easily, with the same material, manipulate a percentage high types of packages that can coexist in the warehouses in which they operate.
  • the invention facilitates access to the cells for storing goods by means of manipulators.
  • the manipulators In the usual warehouses, the goods being arranged on several levels in each location along the traffic aisles, the manipulators must be able to engage under the rail which supports a higher level of reserve above the disposal cells in which perform the sampling of articles, so that these manipulators properly unload the operators of this arduous work.
  • these rails can be placed at any height by the warehouse operator. In most cases, the lower edge of the first rail is about 2 meters above the ground to allow operators to pass underneath. But it happens that this smooth is fixed at lower heights (1 m for example), to increase the number of items per cell, which further complicates the ergonomics of the seizure of items or packages in these cells.
  • the invention saves the operators all seizure, lifting, or carrying loads, including those that would run the risk of incidents or accidents musculoskeletal. On the other hand, it allows them to focus more on delicate maneuvers, especially those that require precision in the handling and positioning of items or attention in keeping with the order lists and the loading of pallets.
  • the invention proposes to make available to each human operator order preparer working in a specific warehouse a mechanical manipulator with power control which is embedded on a mobile carriage through the warehouse.
  • the manipulator drives a device for gripping the loads to be removed, advantageously of the pneumatic type, which is carried by a mast on which it is movable in sliding and rotation, at a low level, at the end of a deployable bracket at a high level. on a support column. All the maneuvers involving lifting the loads, to move them, to control their descent, are provided by the control means of the manipulator under the control of control means available to an operator operating the gripping apparatus. In the same position the operator can manually act on the gripper itself, in particular to rotate it in order to orient it accurately when gripping a package to be taken for transport.
  • the invention does not exclude that the same manipulators are installed at a fixed station opposite storage locations, or that the assembly comprises manipulators made differently, especially with simplified gripping tools for transporting empty pallets .
  • the manipulators according to the invention all the displacements of charges, or at least mainly all the Maneuvers carrying loads, especially those involving lifting packages or controlling their descent, are advantageously provided by means of the assisted control means of the manipulator's stem.
  • the steering members may be in particular, in whole or in part, manual type organs which remain low level as the gripping tool, within reach of the operator during all the maneuvers involving the components of the manipulator.
  • these drivers are located on the gripping device ensuring the seizure of the charges themselves, or in its immediate vicinity.
  • a particularly convenient means is to arrange them on a handle mounted in solidarity with the gripper device. It is at this same handle that one can also preferably place the control members of the gripping and release functions of the loads implemented by the gripper.
  • the manipulator is advantageously designed so that the deployment of the gallows takes place at a height high enough to always escape, on the one hand to the goods being loaded on the truck, on the other hand operators and other moving personnel around. It is also advantageously designed so that the maximum extension of the extended boom, provided under assisted control and therefore without significant effort of the operator, is sufficient to drive the gripper laterally relative to the carriage by bringing it up to to reach the cells of the neighboring site or locations, while the carriage remains stationary in the access aisle to the storage locations, or to drive it longitudinally in the various desirable positions above the platform receipt of loads to be transported, therefore controlled articles to be assembled on the carriage, to deposit the latter by releasing the gripping means of the gripping apparatus.
  • the column supporting the assisted movement of the parcel gripping device is mounted on its carriage just behind a post piloting, that the operator can occupy to control the movements of the truck itself, in front of the platform for receiving articles and parcels to deliver.
  • the latter is usually large enough to house two pallets one behind the other. It is placed here, at the simplest, under the conditions of implementation of the invention, wherein the carriage of transport loads through the warehouse is constituted by a motorized vehicle with local control of the current type.
  • the stem consists of three elements articulated one on the other, the first being articulated on the support column, with articulations in relative rotation about vertical axes and angular deflections that can substantially reach but without exceeding them, values of the order of 130 degrees.
  • the support arm of the load gripping tool allows the operator to bring the latter accurately to the place of each parcel to enter, passing under the smooth separating two superimposed levels of storage cells.
  • the assisted control of the movements in height of the input tool which seems most necessary, while the adjustments in position in a horizontal plane involve less effort , that often the operator can even exercise himself, without external energy input and yet without too much risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
  • the present invention provides for the use of pneumatic power to ensure the lifting of packages to be transported.
  • the invention allows each operator working in a specific warehouse to act alone on loads of variable size and weight, and whose gripping surface may not be smooth.
  • Such a pneumatic gripping device operating by suction effect, can in particular be mounted on a manual movement arm, such as the arm ending the stem of a manipulator, carrying the various control means of the device as a whole, and be associated therewith with dispensing means alternately ensuring its operation in suction mode to grab a load and hold it or in blowing mode to release it. It is advantageous to use the blowing mode also in preparation for the capture, to deploy above the load a crown of flexible material which is responsible for the suction effect when then it is waterproof on the load. suction mode.
  • a charge transport transport manipulator preferably comprises a device for gripping by suction effect of a load to be transported in which a rigid structure supports an annular skirt extending smoothly all around the structure, a closing valve of a fluidic circuit opening outwards in the central part of the structure, valves opening said circuit on the underside of the skirt to deploy it in a crown beyond the grip of the rigid structure, as well as dispensing means for alternately ruling in said circuit an overpressure tending to close the valve and open the valves and a depression tending to open the valve and close the valves so as to grip the load by effect of empty in a volume closed on it by said skirt.

  • These pallets are called pallets "client” insofar as we group on the various packages lists of orders for delivery to a specific customer. They constitute the receiving supports of the packages or supports for handling the loads to be transported.
  • the invention leads to equip this machine so as to replace the handling of loads up to several kilograms by the operation of an ergonomic manipulator device embedded on the carriage which requires only a pressure of a few grams, thanks to a mechanism of Assisted power assistance.
  • the manipulator mounted on the vehicle 1 is constituted by a frame which is essentially made in the form of a vertical column 3 supporting at its top a deformable bracket 4.
  • the column 3 is located just behind the cockpit 151, between the and the platform 152.
  • the bracket 4 is made by assembling rigid elements which are connected to each other by articulation about vertical axes so as to constitute a deployable assembly capable of expanding horizontally from the column 3 and extending orientation around this column.

  • the same arm 8 still carries a remote control device for controlling the motorized carriage in its evolutions in the aisles of the warehouse.
  • This is a remote control device, since the control members, manually operated, remain located, not in the cockpit but nevertheless on the machine at the level of his manipulator. A true remote control device may seem preferable in other situations. It is then located on the operator personally and the truck driving orders are transmitted wirelessly to its motorized means, for remote control of carriage movements.

Examples include instructions printed on a sheet of paper, labels to be affixed to parcels, a visual instruction on a terminal screen or a voice instruction. He goes to each address, either by mounting on the picking machine to drive it in a traditional way, or by operating the remote control located on the gripping device or the remote control placed on the operator (as described in the patent texts already mentioned). He maneuvers the gripping apparatus so as to take the appropriate package with the gripping tool 11 and moves it from the storage pallet into the cell 18 to the corresponding customer pallet on the platform. form 12.
  • the handling of the package with the gripping tool 11 allows, thanks to a reader advantageously integrated therein, to read the number of the package to constitute an indicative electronic list of packages constituting the contents of the customer pallet 151 and / or 152.
  • This reading can also be done by the operator using a portable terminal, ideally placed on his wrist, in order to read the bar code of the package or cell slot 18 with the hands free.
  • the operator checks the command line when he has filed the last package of the line on the pallet client if he has a checklist; otherwise, he takes a label on the label reel and glues it on the package deposited on the customer pallet.
  • the manipulator advantageously has adjustable stops limiting the movements of the stem from the position of the carriage of the picking machine 1 in the aisle, so as to avoid shocks against the supporting structure of the storage cells and their pallets.
